Easy Mandarin 1 - What are you doing today?

[@tecknowledjee6933]

Out of all the tutorial scrolling for Mandarin on KZbin, this alone has helped me significantly more than the other videos I watched. Just listening into people's conversations on the street can increase your learning in a foreign language way more than the constant videos of people "Ni hao, wo jiao..." (but those still help). Thank you all so much for the series of Mandarin on the streets!

[@sasino]

Yep it really is the only way to learn properly, plus watching movies and listening to podcasts

[@sovietwizard1620]

The reason I like this channel is because it actually helps you understand street talk, no other channel that's for foreigners does that, they always wash away that accent, making it much easier than it actually is.

无论是台湾，大陆，还是港澳以及海外同胞， 我真是跪求你们不要互相诋毁对方了，团结一心推广自己的中华文化好吗？繁体简体重要吗？只要外国人喜欢学习中文，这一点就足够了。 美式英语和英式英语也有不同，那又如何，喜欢的人还不是照样一起都看看，都学学。 开心每一天就好啦。 我觉得这个VIDEO 非常棒。

[@easytaiwanesechinese8876]

+sun susana 真的很謝謝你 這也是我們一直想要訴求 無論是哪個字體，我們都希望能夠幫助到學習中文者 因為一定會友人也正在學習繁體版的中文 我們也不能忽略那些有權益學習者 感謝您 我們真心的感謝 也一定會繼續努力 by Johnny

[@FloristsGarden]

很贊同你的說法 這只是語言演進 大家的源頭都是一樣 只是因地理環境而影響 就像動物的演化一樣

[@1943stone]

我只是觉得 无论是繁体字和简体字，都是中华文字，我们中国历史文化都是通过繁体字记载的，某些台湾朋友你是不是中国人都没关系，没人在乎的，别强行说得好像繁体字是你们的“台文" 或者 “台字” 就可以了。 我们中国目前正在使用的简体字其初衷是为了让大多数人快速掌握书写能力以方便接受文化教育，实际上繁体字书写只是没有在学校教育里进行而已，生活中遇到繁体字阅读大多数人都是能够看懂的，况且很多书法爱好者本身就具备书写繁体字的能力。 最后，繁体字是汉字的书写形式，不是“台字” 谢谢，我坚决拥护繁体字的地位，反对台湾国将传统中华文化私有化的同时还要和“中国人”以及“中华文化”划清界限，贬低中国。 如何坚持如此，建议自创“台湾话”以及”台湾字“

As someone who reads and writes in Mainland China's Mandarin--this was very interesting to read along to with the subtitles along with observing different ways phrases are said! such as bu hui being no problem in Tapei instead of meishi + all the different characters used!

[@LiuBei365]

guys, thanks for providing english subtitles, characters and pinyin, really good work! :)

[@benl9047]

Hey, it's fantastic to see easy mandarin here on youtube. Personally I'm learning mainland mandarin, but I understand that with them not even having youtube it makes more sense to do this from Taiwan. I'd like simplified characters alongside the traditional ones personally, since I don't really understand the traditional characters (people comparing this to UK vs USA english are missing the point I think). But if it remains like this I'll still watch them. Some ideas for other videos, that I liked from easy german: ask them about what languages they speak/would like to learn, ask them about good/bad dates, ask them what makes them happy. Maybe some about their ideas about mainland chinese people, or americans would be interesting as well.

[@triampat16]

Just come across this clip. Thank you very much for helping us learning Chinese, with subtitles and the pinyin. It means a lot for us learners!

Thanks guys!! exactly what I was needing! please send a lot more!! And I think you guys should keep using traditional characters because I think they are somehow beautiful... For people that are learning, well, actually you'll have to learn both character's type soon or later if you really wanna become fluent and understand Chinese stuff... So don't worry so much about it. Traditional characters aren't extremely hard... you just have to get along with them... :)

[@sasino]

True however the simplified characters are the standard now, it's more useful to learn the simplified set than the traditional unless you're into calligraphy

[@MrViniciusMarcilio]

@@sasino That's the point ,man .. Simplified characters really are way easier to deal with daily. But Mandarin chinese is also way too artistically beautiful to be approached just as "useful" ya know? Also give traditional a try to see what I'm talking about
